Overview
SixtV VCarS Of College Misericordia, a Catholic institution of higher learning for
rnmmifmpnf men an< ^ women ' > s located on a beautiful 100-acre campus in the
suburban community of Dallas, Pennsylvania. It was the first
college to be established in Luzerne County.
Since its establishment in 1924 by the Wilkes-Barre foundation of
the Religious Sisters of Mercy of the Union, College Misericordia
has pursued a policy of growth, both in terms of physical
expansion and in academic programs. The result is a modern
college with a distinguished liberal arts base for all of its
undergraduate degree programs. The College also offers high
quality graduate programs in Nursing and Human Services
Administration.
The tradition of the College has grown from the history and value
system of its sponsoring group, the Sisters of Mercy. At the core of
the institution is the ideal which inspired Catherine McAuley's
founding of the Institute of Mercy, that is, compassionate service
through the ministries of teaching and healing. Committed to the
promotion of these ideals, the Sisters of Mercy seek to share that
commitment with lay colleagues and with students. It is that same
commitment which gives direction and purpose to the academic
curriculum, and to cocurricular and extracurricular activity,
College Misericordia supports the belief that all professional and
pre-professional education emanates from and is influenced by a
liberal arts tradition. Such a position is based upon several beliefs:
that liberation from ignorance and prejudice is fundamental to
personal and professional development; that a common knowledge
base fosters human understanding; that the formation of critical,
creative and aesthetic qualities is important to human growth; and
that a broadbased education is vital to the development of skills
which allow for a flexible approach to living.

Elective Areas
of Study
All College Misericordia students are required to fulfill a 51-credit
liberal arts core curriculum in addition to the requirements of their
chosen major. The core courses provide both a sound educational
foundation and a perspective from which to choose a major field or
specialized area of study.
College Misericordia's academic programs fall into five
inter-related groups: majors, specializations, certifications, minors
and elective areas of study. These program areas are defined below:
Areas of study in a formal discipline for which a degree is awarded,
for example, a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, a Bachelor of
Social Work degree in Social Work, or a Bachelor of Science degree
in Mathematics.
Focused programs of extended study closely associated with a
specific degree program. Specializations are generally available
only to students who have been accepted to the major for that
specific degree. Examples are B. A. /History (Pre-Law) or
B.S. /Biology (Pre-Medicine).
Prescribed programs of study designed to meet requirements of
official agencies which recognize the certification as a valid
credential. One example is the Early Childhood Education
certification recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of
Education.
Focused programs of study which involve specific clusters of
courses around a general area of study. Minors are not associated
with particular degree programs and are therefore open to all
students. Examples are writing, legal assistant, philosophy and
religious studies.
Clusters of courses which are not as a group directly associated
with a specific degree program. These elective courses are intended
to augment the liberal arts background of any interested student.
Examples are philosophy, art, sociology and geography.
In the academic program listings which follow, majors,
specializations and certifications are combined into one section and
are listed alphabetically by program name. They have been
grouped together by virtue of their one common feature— majors,
specializations and certifications are associated with specific degree
programs and therefore require defined course sequences.
Minors, which are open to all students, may be taken in association
with any degree program. Minors involve 15 to 21 credits in
specific areas. The minors offered by the College and their course
requirements are grouped together under the heading Minor
Programs.
Elective areas of study are briefly described in the section headed
Elective Areas of Study.
Specific information regarding every course offered by the College
may be found in the Course Descriptions section of this catalog.

Division of Business Administration
Degree: B.S. /Business Administration
Program Director: Donald Skiff
To succeed in a professional business atmo-
sphere, individuals must have a well-
rounded background in all aspects of busi-
ness. College Misericordia's business
administration program provides the proper
balance of both theory and practice. The
program prepares students for entry level
positions in business, industry or the non-
profit sector. Some business administration
majors continue their studies at the graduate
level.
Many business administration majors
choose to specialize in a particular business-
related field. To meet these individual needs,
the Division of Business Administration of-
fers specializations in accounting, computer
science, management, marketing and mer-
chandising. More detailed descriptions of
these programs may be found elsewhere in
this catalog.
Students who do not want to specialize in
any area but prefer the more traditional ap-
proach to business education receive a
broad background in all areas of the busi-
ness environment. Some students choose
this broad approach in recognition of the
fact that some employers prefer to provide
employees with training specific to the com-
pany, building upon the student's broad-
based business education.
Business administration majors must fulfill
the core curriculum requirements of the Col-
lege, and the specific requirements of the
major. Nine credit hours are to be completed
in free electives. These electives may be
courses from any academic area, or may
take the form of independent study or work
experience.
Business administration majors are expected
to achieve grades of "C" or better in required
major courses. A student may repeat a
course once. If a grade of "C" or better is not
achieved, the student will be dismissed from
the business administration program.

fessions. Child welfare specialists han-
dle the problems of abused, neglected
and abandoned children or those whose
behavior has brought them to the atten-
tion of the courts. This type of work is
demanding and requires highly trained
and dedicated professionals for whom
children and their families are of para-
mount importance.
A certificate in child welfare services in-
volves a total of 15 credits. Three of
these credits are earned through the suc-
cessful completion of a clinic, field prac-
ticum or other appropriate placement in
a child serving setting related to the stu-
dent's major field of study.

College Misericordia's major program
in elementary education is respected
throughout Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania. The College has graduated
teachers since its founding in 1924, and
since that time the elementary educa-
tion program has been continuously re-
fined to keep pace with modern teach-
ing methods and theory. The elemen-
tary education program is fully ap-
proved by the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Education and leads to a valid
teaching certificate honored in Pennsyl-
vania and most other states.
All students who wish to pursue careers
in teaching must follow the core curric-
ulum prescribed by College Misericor-
dia. No later than the first semester of
the sophomore year, students must ap-
ply to the elementary education pro-
gram and be formally interviewed by
the program director.
To remain in the program and be recom-
mended for student teaching, students
must maintain a GPA of 2.2 or better
overall, and a 2.5 or better in major
courses, in addition to successfully
completing one or more field experi-
ences.
The field experiences required by the
program begin during the freshman
year, and involve observation or practi-
cum assignments in community
schools. Field experiences are arranged
by the director of student teaching.
Students who successfully complete the
elementary education program are eli-
gible for recommendation by the Col-
lege to the Pennsylvania Department of
Education for teacher certification. The
certificates, entitled "Pennsylvania In-
structional I," allow graduates to teach
legally in the public schools of Pennsyl-
vania and most other states.

The major in English assists students in
acquiring a comprehensive knowledge
of the English language and the litera-
ture produced in that language from the
Anglo-Saxon times to the present.
The English curriculum emphasizes stu-
dent progress from practice in writing
to mastery of the technique of rhetoric.
The program's goal is two-fold: the ar-
ticulation of ideas, based on trained
critical judgment and expressed in clear
prose; and the understanding of literary
forms, centered particularly in the liter-
ature of Great Britain and America.

The general studies program at College Misericordia was created to
provide the opportunity tor students who have previous college credits
in career oriented programs to earn a Bachelor's Degree through
additional study at College Misericordia.
Professional course credits completed in prior study can be combined
with additional liberal arts credits and will qualify the candidate for the
Bachelor's Degree. The degree obtained may be a Bachelor of Science or
a Bachelor of Arts, each with a major in general studies, depending on
the courses completed at College Misericordia. Usually, the degree credits
can be earned in two years of study at Misericordia. The degree may be
earned by attending day and evening classes through the McAuley
Weekend College for adults.
Individual programs of study are designed by the student with the
assistance of an advisement committee consisting of the program
director, the Dean of Admissions and a faculty member from a discipline
related to the course of study..

Program Director: Thomas O'Neill
Gerontology is the study of aging, a
normal process in the human lifespan.
The rapid development and expansion
of programs and services for elderly
persons in America, and the anticipated
increase in the number of persons living
to old age, have escalated the demand
for professionals trained to work in the
field of aging.
The Gerontology program prepares
graduates for positions in agencies and
institutions which administer health
and community-based services for the
aged. Career opportunities exist in
nursing homes, hospitals, senior citizen
centers, area agencies on aging, nutri-
tion programs, rehabilitation centers,
social welfare agencies and other orga-
nizations. The program also enhances
the knowledge and skills of individuals
currently involved in the provision of
such services.
The Gerontology certificate program is
offered to students who are not pursu-
ing a degree at College Misericordia.
These individuals may take the Geron-
tology course of study by itself, or in
conjunction with other continuing edu-
cation courses.
College Misericordia also offers a minor
in Gerontology for students pursuing
related courses of study at the College.

Following a major course of study in
history provides a student with a strong
liberal arts background. The study of
history can broaden a student's perspec-
tive of local, national and international
issues. It fosters an understanding of the
complexity of human motivation and
action and provides a critical approach
to looking at the past. College Miseri-
cordia's history program cultivates the
ability to think, write and speak clearly
and precisely with thoroughness and in-
dependence. The program is designed
to develop a student's personal capabil-
ity and desire for intellectual growth.
History majors must fulfill the College's
core curriculum requirements in addi-
tion to completing 36 credits in history.
Advanced history courses require six
credits of core courses as prerequisite.
Internships for history majors are as-
signed on the basis of availability. Stu-
dents must achieve a grade of "C" or
better in all major courses.

Program Director: Lee Williames
Students who pursue a major in liberal
studies may receive either a Bachelor of
Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science de-
gree, depending on the selected area or
theme of study. In either case, students
must complete 128 credits.
The liberal studies major permits stu-
dents to plan their studies around per-
sonal and professional goals. The pro-
gram is geared to highly motivated and
independent students who are capable
of individual scholarship. The program
enables students to create their own
"major" by selecting courses in general
areas of interest: fine arts, social sci-
ence, natural science or humanities, or
by pursuing a specific theme of study
that would include courses in all these
areas. The modes of study in the liberal
studies program may be non-traditional
and may include independent study, re-
search and seminars, particularly in the
junior and senior years.
Liberal studies majors work closely
with an advisor throughout the design
and implementation of their programs.

Program Director: Joseph Tomasovic
Mathematics has been called the "queen
of the sciences." In recent years, the in-
creased use of statistics and quantitative
methods, and the computer revolution,
have caused mathematics to pervade
not only the physical sciences, but the
life and social sciences as well. Mathe-
matical techniques are widely used in
research, in industry, manufacturing,
commerce and government. Recogniz-
ing these broad applications, College
Misericordia designed its major pro-
gram in math to expose students to both
classical and contemporary mathemat-
ics.
The mathematics major prepares stu-
dents for careers in business, industry
or government, or for future study in
graduate or professional school.
Students may choose to pursue either a
B.S. or a B.A. degree in mathematics.
The required math courses for either de-
gree are the same. Students who choose
a B.A. must complete PHY 221-222;
those choosing a B.S. must complete
PHY 221-222 and either CHM 133-134
or BIO 101-102.
Students who major in mathematics
must achieve a grade of "C" or better in
all major courses. Students must fulfill
the core curriculum requirements of the
College in addition to the minimum of
33 credits in math.

PHILOSOPHY
College Misericordia's nursing faculty is concerned with the worth and
dignity of the total person. The Division of Nursing strives for a holistic
view of man, taking into account physical structure, mind, spirit, and
both the physical and social environment in which one lives. Man is
perceived within the context of a family unit, a unit which maintains the
stability of society while it provides the flexibility necessary for the
individual growth of all its members.
It is the Nursing Division's philosophy that health and illness are
intricately related in the dynamics of wellness. It is believed that the level
of wellness attained by an individual is directly related to and influenced
by the family's and the community's level of wellness. The nursing
faculty believes that a person has a right to that level of wellness which
enables the maximization of potential as an individual, as a family
member and as a community leader.
The practice of professional nursing is an essential service which assists
in the prevention of illness and the promotion, maintenance and
restoration of wellness. The professional nurse accepts the responsibility
for obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary to reach that goal.
The nursing student at College Misericordia is prepared to be a generalist
who with other professional and allied health personnel can provide
health care services to persons, families and community groups in a
variety of settings. The nursing program at Misericordia educates the
beginning professional nurse to provide vital, effective nursing services
in a total health care system.
The nursing process draws upon intellectual, interpersonal and technical
skills. The nursing program provides for the development of these skills
through a curriculum which includes both a strong liberal arts
background as well as theoretical and practical nursing training.
Students learn to assess, plan, implement and evaluate health and
nursing care services.
The nursing program provides a sound educational base for graduate
study. The College also offers a Master of Science in Nursing degree
program.
POLICIES
In addition to the general policies of College Misericordia, the following
regulations apply to students in the Division of Nursing:
Off-Campus Student Employment
It is the policy of the Division of Nursing that students carrying 12
credit hours cannot commit themselves to more than 24 hours a
week in off-campus positions. Full time nursing students who wish
to work part time should discuss their plans with their faculty
nursing advisor.
When students are employed in a health agency, they may not
perform the functions of a professional or practical nurse.

College Misericordia's program in occupational therapy provides
students with the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary to assume
entry level positions as registered occupational therapists. The
program's academic and clinical course of study meets the requirements
of the American Occupational Therapy Association.
The primary responsibility of the occupational therapist is to help the
disabled and disadvantaged achieve a maximum level of independent
functioning in self-care, work and leisure activities. Occupational
therapy graduates are readily employed in clinics, hospitals,
rehabilitation centers, mental retardation centers, schools, nursing
homes, well baby clinics, psychiatric centers, and other related human
service agencies. The College's program is associated with more than 60
hospitals nationwide which provide comprehensive clinical options for
OT students.
College Misericordia expects that by June of 1985, the occupational
therapy program will be accredited by the American Occupational
Therapy Association. Graduates of a duly accredited program are
eligible to sit for the national certification examination to become
registered occupational therapists.
POLICIES
In addition to the general policies of College Misericordia, the following
regulations apply to occupational therapy majors:
Fieldwork
Students are responsible for their transportation and travel costs to
and from assigned practicum and fieldwork centers. Such
assignments begin in the sophomore year and continue throughout
the program. Students should expect to pay room and board
expenses during the senior year fieldwork assignments in the event
that the affiliated hospital or clinic does not cover them.
Related Expenses
Additional expenses for OT students normally include laboratory
fees, uniforms, name pins, school patches, malpractice liability
insurance and registration examination fee. Although not required,
students are urged to join the American Occupational Therapy
Association and the Pennsylvania Occupational Therapy
Association at the reduced student rates.

GRADE REQUIREMENTS
All OT majors must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
If a student receives a grade lower than "C" in a natural or behavioral
science course, the student may repeat the course once, realizing that the
required sequence of study has been disrupted and additional time will
be required to complete the program. Students who successfully repeat
such a course and thereafter receive a grade lower than "C" in a natural
or behavioral science course, will automatically be dismissed from the
occupational therapy program.
If a student receives a grade lower than "C" in an occupational therapy
course, the student may repeat the course once. Students who
successfully repeat an OT course and thereafter receive a grade lower
than "C" in such a course will be automatically dismissed from the
occupational therapy program.

The pre-law specialization at College
Misericordia was developed in accord-
ance with the Association of American
Law Schools which recommends that
prospective law students have a broad
liberal arts background. The program
represents sound preparation for the
Law School Admission Test and the
study of law.
The program has been carefully de-
signed to develop ability in expression
and comprehension of English, to af-
ford basic information about human in-
stitutions and values, and to cultivate
the ability to think creatively and criti-
cally with thoroughness and indepen-
dence.
Satisfactory completion of the pre-law
specialization provides students with a

College Misericordia's Associate in Ap-

logic technology is approved by the
American Medical Association and its
accrediting agencies. The program pro-
vides training in the application of io-
nizing radiation to human subjects, and
prepares students to take the American
Registry of Radiologic Technologists ex-
amination in Radiology.
The Associate degree program is a two-
year curriculum which eliminates much
of the College's liberal arts core. Many
graduates of hospital-based radiologic
technology programs find the associate
degree program useful as post-profes-
sional training.
Students are required to provide their
own transportation to and from the
clinical education centers. Students
must demonstrate proficiency in mathe-
matics or successfully complete the Col-
lege's developmental mathematics pro-
gram.
A 2.0 cumulative grade point average is
required of all radiologic technology
students. Those who fall below a 2.0
must raise their average during the next
semester or be dismissed from the pro-
gram. A student who receives a grade
below "C" in any science course must
repeat the course prior to graduation.
Those who receive a grade below "C" in
any radiologic technology course shall
be dismissed from the program. Stu-
dents dismissed for this reason may re-
apply for admission to the program as
space in the clinical setting allows.

Degree: Bachelor of Social Work
Program Director: Dennis Fisher
The objective of College Misericordia's
social work program is to provide stu-
dents with the knowledge, skills and
value orientation needed to practice so-
cial work at the baccalaureate level. To
this end, the program offers an inte-
grated body of knowledge, both theo-
retical and practical. Field instruction
experience provides a means of utilizing
that knowledge.
Field instruction is offered in a variety
of settings, including both public and
voluntary agencies. It is a structured ed-
ucational experience in social work
practice which enables students to inte-
grate the information learned in the
classroom. Students learn about the
structure and operation of social work
agencies and become oriented to actual
practice situations.
Before students may enroll in field in-
struction they must have successfully
completed a sequence of social work
courses; have a grade point average of
2.5 in the major; and have a cumulative
average of 2.0.
Students must repeat a major course in
which a grade below "C" is received.
Transportation to and from field place-
ments is the student's responsibility.
College Misericordia's social work pro-
gram is accredited by the Council on
Social Work Education. Graduates may
be eligible for advanced standing in
nearly thirty graduate schools of social
work throughout the country.

Elective Areas of Study
Elective courses provide a variety of experiences in the liberal arts and
may be taken by any interested student whose curriculum allows for
such electives.
The elective areas of study are not related to any specific degree
program, that is, one cannot pursue a major, minor, specialization or
certification in any of the programs described in this section. However,
coursework in these areas can contribute significantly to a student's
education. Some of the courses in each of the following programs are
called for in the course sequences of various majors. Others are part of
the College's core curriculum.
Descriptions of the courses offered in the elective areas of study may be
found under the section headed Course Descriptions.
/^Yt ^he philosophy of the art department is based on the belief that all
individuals are innately creative, and that they have a need to express
that creativity. Creative outlets take many forms, one of which is artistic
endeavor.
Both beginning and advanced artists can choose from many different
programs, some theoretical and others practical. Courses address such
areas as drawing, painting, graphics, sculpture, illustration, ceramics,
weaving, metalsmithing, enameling, printmaking, photography, art
history, art appreciation, and contemporary art.
ART 161, Art Appreciation, is part of the core curriculum.
GeOSraohv Geography examines the inter-relationships of people and their
environment. We are directly and indirectly affected by our environment
at any given moment, by weather, solar radiation, earthquakes, floods,
or a walk through a rain forest or desert.
Human beings play a large part in this relationship through such actions
as leveling or planting forests, building cities, draining swamps,
establishing national boundaries, and polluting the air, water and land.
The study of the fit between man and his ecosphere can provide a greater
understanding of ourselves, our fellow man, and the earth on which we
live.
Physical Education Since classical times, physical fitness has been known to play a part in
the development of whole, healthy individuals.
The physical education department offers a wide range of physical
activities, from archery and badminton to skiing and volleyball. The
courses are intended to develop and maintain students' lifetime sports
skills, and impress students with the importance of sport and exercise in
daily life.
Four credit hours of elective physical education courses may be applied
toward graduation.
57
The Curricula
Elective Areas of Study
PhvsicS Physics is perhaps the most basic of the sciences. It impacts directly on
the study of biology or chemistry and can be a useful adjunct to the
study of mathematics.
The physics department offers courses for science majors and for
students in some of the preprofessional programs, such as medical
technology and radiologic technology. Physics courses may also enrich
the education of humanities majors.
The core curriculum science requirement may be filled by any physics
course (with the exception of PHY 101/102) for which the prerequisites
have been met.
Sociolo£V Sociology is the study of the origin, development, organization and
functioning of human society. No one exists outside of a social system, so
it is easy to understand how sociology can relate to any academic
program.
The courses offered by the sociology department explore such subjects as
anthropology, social problems, cultural minorities, the family and
research methods. A background in sociology can broaden one's
perspective of the world, can promote objectivity, and develop an
accepting attitude with regard to different peoples and their ways of life.

Students transferring into the program must meet specific pre-OT
requirements in addition to the requirements for general admission. Priority
consideration for advancement into the professional program in Occupational
Therapy will be given to matriculated pre-OT students at College

meet the specific pre-OT requirements and only if space is available. Transfers
may however, apply for Pre-Occupational Therapy status with the
understanding that a four-year sequence is required to complete the program.
Transfers must demonstrate a minimum 2.5 GRA in all college work
attempted. No grade below "C" will be accepted for transfer. Transfers are
urged to consult with the Occupational Therapy program director to discuss
career options in the field.

program must meet the College's general admissions requirements and must sit
for the Entrance Examination for Schools of Radiologic Technology (EESRT).

Admission of transfer students is based primarily on the applicant's academic
performance at the institution attended previously. Transfer credit will be
awarded for those courses that are equivalent to courses offered at College
Misericordia. Normally, only grades of "C" or better will be accepted for
transfer credit. The registrar, however, reserves the right to award or withhold
credit.
Grades earned at other institutions are not included in the student's GPA at
College Misericordia.
Transfer students are encouraged to arrange an interview with an admissions
counselor to review academic status and proposed curriculum.
Students who hold associate degrees in either arts or sciences may be admitted
to a special program leading to a baccalaureate degree at College Misericordia
(associate degrees in applied arts or sciences are evaluated on a course by
course basis). Under the special program, transfer students take a minimum of
56 credit hours at College Misericordia. These credits are to include six credits
in religious studies and six in philosophy if students have not already earned
these credits as part of their associate degree program (see General Studies).
Students must also complete the requirements for an academic major and earn
a total of 128 credit hours, including the credits earned for the associate
degree. Please note that some majors involve extensive coursework and
require more than the minimum of 56 credits.
Students transferring from two-year institutions who do not hold associate
degrees may transfer up to 70 credits. These students must earn the credits
required for the core curriculum and the academic major, to complete the
degree requirement of 128 hours.
Students who transfer from four-year colleges must complete a minimum of 32
credits at College Misericordia to be eligible to receive a degree.
Upon receipt of the Application for Admission, the secondary school
record/transcript, post-secondary transcripts (if applicable), and the guidance
or transfer counselor recommendation, the Committee on Admissions reviews
the applicant's portfolio and notifies a candidate by mail of the admission
decision usually within three or four weeks.
Because of the limited number of students admitted each year to most
programs of study, reservation deposits will be accepted only while space is
available. Normally, reservation deposits should be made within six weeks of
notification of acceptance. Deadline extensions may be granted only with the
written consent of the Dean of Admissions.
Incoming students who wish to enroll at College Misericordia for either the fall
or spring term must submit a reservation deposit of SlOO if they want to reside

also adhere to the reservation deposit deadline.
Students who have completed their junior year in high school with an
outstanding record of achievement may apply for early admission to College

program through CLEP. All thirty credits may be earned through CLEP subject
examinations, or fifteen (15) of the thirty may be earned by taking CLEP
general examinations. A minimum score of 50 is required in any of the subject
examinations, and a minimum score of 500 in the general examinations is
required to obtain credit.

All freshman students admitted to the College are required to take a series of
tests in basic skills areas before they may register for classes. These tests are
administered on selected Saturdays through the spring and summer.
Students who demonstrate a deficiency in one or more area are required to
take a developmental education course in the area corresponding to the
deficiency. Students who achieve superior scores are candidates for admission
to the College Honors Program, advanced placement, or both.
Students who have previously attended College Misericordia and have
withdrawn for personal reasons may be considered candidates for
readmission. It is not necessary for the student to reapply, but a letter should
be sent to the Dean of Admissions indicating the reason(s) why the student
withdrew and wishes to return to the College. If the student was dismissed for
academic reasons the matter will be referred to the Academic Dean for final
decision. In the case of disciplinary dismissal, the matter will be referred to the
Dean of Students.
A student dismissed for academic reasons may reapply after one year. The
student will be admitted for one semester, pending an evaluation of the
semester's work by the Academic Status Committee. If at the end of the
semester the student fails to attain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average, he or
she will be asked to withdraw permanently.

Grievance
Procedure
Each student is assigned an academic advisor within the student's major
department. Students undecided about their major will be assigned special
advisors.
Academic advisors are the students' liaison with other college offices. Advisors
should be consulted often for guidance and advice. In addition to lending
academic guidance, advisors can provide information on where to obtain and
how to complete necessary forms pertaining to academics.
Advisors must sign all academic paperwork including course registration,
drop/add forms, withdrawal from course forms, off-campus permission
forms, etc. Advisors meet with students individually for pre-registration
consultation each semester.
Faculty members post their office hours to assist students in making
appointments. Academic advisement is coordinated through the office of the
Academic Dean.
The College provides a uniform method by which students can pursue
grievable issues. Grievable issues are complaints about the institution's
academic policies or lack of them, its prescribed procedures for carrying out its
policies, its administration of matters related to instructional practices, or any
combination of the above.
A student who has a grievance should attempt to resolve it on an informal
basis by using the following procedures:
1. The student should first speak to the person with whom the complaint
rests.
2. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved at that level, the student should
proceed to the chairman of the division to discuss the issue.
3. If the matter is not resolved at that level, the student should proceed to the
office of the Academic Dean where a formal grievance may be filed.
Formal Grievance The student shall inform the Academic Dean in writing of his or her intent to
Procedure see ^ rorrna ' redress through the grievance procedure, indicating the nature of
the complaint.
Within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of the written complaint, the
Academic Dean will convene the Academic Grievance Committee and provide
the chairman of the committee with the student's statement of the complaint.
The Academic Grievance Committee is composed of one administrator and
one faculty member appointed by the Academic Dean, and the academic
affairs coordinator of Student Government.
At least seven (7) days in advance of the hearing, the chairman of the
committee will notify the student, and the individual charged with the
complaint, of:
1. The time and place of the hearing.
2. Specification and nature of the complaint.
3. The composition of the committee.

At any hearing, committee members may question witnesses to evaluate all the
relevant facts of a given case. All committee meetings shall be private;
witnesses shall be excluded except for the period of their questioning.
The report and recommendation of the committee shall be in writing,
including the committee's rationale for the decision and including any
dissenting opinion. Only those committee members who have heard all
testimony and evidence in a given case may vote on the committee's
recommendation.

Academic Dean within ten (10) calendar days of the hearing and copies shall
be provided to all parties to the complaint.

parties involved.
The Dean's List is issued at the close of each semester in recognition of students
who have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours and have earned a grade
point average of 3.55 (on a 4.0 system) for the semester.
Graduation Honors are awarded as follows:

Any form of cheating, plagiarism or dishonesty is a fundamental violation of
the nature and purposes of College Misericordia. Thus, students should be
aware of their responsibilities in upholding the spirit of honesty.
Plagiarism and other forms of cheating will not be tolerated and will result in a
loss of academic credit.
In general, students should know that not all their ideas, data, or words are
expected to be entirely original; however, when borrowing from others, the
appropriate forms of attribution must be used. Scholarly "borrowing" is
encouraged, not censored; to ignore totally the accumulated knowledge of
those committed to understanding the world would itself be a violation of the
precepts of the college and of higher education. Unacknowledged borrowing,
however, cannot be tolerated.

admitted to the College. Transfer applicants with lower than a 2.0 will be
admitted only with the approval of the Academic Dean.

assignments are supervised by College faculty. Students pay tuition for the
credits they earn in field experiences and earn salaries which vary with each
work assignment.

admitted to courses as space is available. Matriculating students who wish to
audit a course must seek permission from the registrar.
College Misericordia provides an option for students or parents to pay tuition,
fees and other charges on a deferred payment plan. The plan permits
educational costs to be spread over a period of time. The requirements of the
plan are as follows:
Only part time students are eligible.
A down payment of twenty (20) percent of the total semester charges is
required.
Deferments are limited to one semester; the unpaid balance must be paid
before final examinations that semester. Failure to pay charges in full before
final exams may result in loss of credit for the semester.
At the close of each month, the unpaid balance will be charged a one (1)
percent finance charge.
Students who fail to meet these requirements will not be eligible for deferred
payments in the future.
Only the comptroller may grant deferred payment plans, and only at the
request of the director of continuing education.
Participants in the plan must sign and receive a copy of the deferred
payment plan.
Full time students may arrange to pay all or part of their college costs in
monthly installments. A $40 annual fee is charged to cover the processing of
payments. Students must be enrolled in the Installment plan prior to the start
of the academic year. The plan is managed by Academic Management
Services, Inc., Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
It is a College policy that any outstanding balances will be charged a one
percent finance charge at the close of every month. This policy is waived for
the following students:
Students enrolled in the Academic Management Services program (see
Tuition Payment Plan for Full Time Students).
Students with loans pending who have received a waiver from the financial

Procedures
It is College Misericordia's philosophy that students of ability should have the
opportunity to attend the college of their choice regardless of family income.
For sixty years, College Misericordia has helped students and parents afford a
superior college education.
The College participates in a number of financial aid programs. These
programs generate funds from Federal, State and College resources.
Additional financial aid monies are contributed by alumni and friends of the
College. The financial aid office packages aid from a combination of sources to
meet, as fully as possible, the student's indicated need.
Misericordia is designated as an eligible institution by the Pennsylvania Higher
Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), which allows qualified students to
participate in the State Grant Program and the Guaranteed Student Loan
Program.
The College is also designated as an eligible institution by the Department of
Education, permitting students to take advantage of the Federal Pell Grant
Program and the Federal campus based programs, including Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Student Loans and the
Federal Work Study Program.
The College also participates in the Nursing Loan Program under the auspices
of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Three types of financial assistance are available:
Scholarships/Grants: Gift aid given directly to the student based on
financial need or some area of achievement, such as musical ability,
academic record, etc. The student does not repay this type of award.
Loans: Monies given to students to meet educational expenses, but for
which students and/or their families assume repayment responsibilities,
usually after withdrawal or graduation from school. Interest is charged on
loans; interest charges vary with different loan programs.
Work-Study: Employment which allows students to earn a portion of the
money needed to meet educational expenses.
Inquiries regarding all financial aid programs should be directed to the
financial aid office.
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must file a
College Misericordia Application for Financial Assistance.
New students should fill out and submit the application for financial
assistance which is attached to the admissions application. Before an
application may be considered, a student must first be admitted to the
College, and other necessary financial information must be on file in the
financial aid office (see Pennsylvania Residents and Out of State Residents,
below). All aid for which a student wishes to be considered should be
indicated on the application. The application is then returned to the
financial aid office.
Returning students obtain a College Misericordia Application for Financial
Assistance from the financial aid office. Before an application may be
considered, a student must be pre-registered for classes in the academic year

Out of State Residents, below). All aid for which a student wishes to be
considered should be indicated on the application. The application is then
returned to the financial aid office.
All Pennsylvania residents must file the College's Application for Financial
Assistance. In addition, Pennsylvania residents must file the PHEAA/ Federal
Student Aid composite form with the State higher education agency. This form
determines eligibility for Federal Pell Grant, PHEAA State Grant and College
administered need-based aid programs, including National Direct Student
Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Nursing Loans and
Work-Study.
The PHEAA/Federal Student Aid composite form should be filed as soon as
possible after January 1, but no later than May 1, prior to the academic year
for which assistance is requested.
All out of state residents must file the College's Application for Financial
Assistance. In addition, out of state residents are required to file for a Pell
Grant. Students should also check with their high school or state agency to
determine if they are eligible for a grant from their state of residence.
Effective for the 1984-1985 academic year, all students who wish to apply for
College administered need-based programs (National Direct Student Loans,
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Nursing Loans, Work-Study)
must file the PHEAA/Federal Student Aid form regardless of state of
residence.
Although out of state residents are not eligible for Pennsylvania State Grants,
the information obtained from the PHEAA/Federal Student Aid form will be
used by the financial aid office to determine eligibility for various
campus-based programs.
The College Misericordia Application for Financial Assistance should be
submitted to the College by:
March 1 for incoming freshmen and transfer students;
April 1 for returning upperclassmen.
Applications and financial aid forms will be accepted later than these dates,
but no assurances can be made that funds will be available for late applicants.
For Pell Grants and State Grants, students should adhere to the deadlines
indicated on the forms from those agencies.
Once all the required information is received by the College, and the student's
enrollment status can be verified according to the application procedures
outlined above, the financial aid office will determine the student's financial
aid in accordance with school policy. The student will be notified in writing of
the results immediately thereafter.
Financial aid is awarded for one academic year at a time. Aid is renewed for
subsequent years:
If the student annually requests assistance by completing all appropriate
forms described above.

Students may request an appointment with the financial aid office to review
the information which determines their aid for the year, and the amount of

Students have the right to request that their aid be re-evaluated if conditions
arise which change their ability to meet the expense of their education. The

other states. These states are Maryland, Ohio, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Massachusetts and West Virginia. Prospective students should contact their
high school guidance office, their state higher education office, or College
Misericordia's financial aid office to learn more about their state programs and
to obtain applications.
Honor Scholarships
To demonstrate its commitment to academic-excellence, the College awards
financial assistance to incoming freshmen and transfer students who have
attained outstanding academic records. The scholarships are renewable until
graduation, provided minimum grade point averages are maintained:
freshman year — 3.0 cumulative average; sophomore year — 3.2 cumulative
average; junior year — 3.4 cumulative average. Students apply directly to the
admissions office of the College for Honor Scholarships.
College Grants
Through its own fund raising efforts, College Misericordia maintains an
extensive college grant program which helps over 50 percent of Misericordia
students meet their college costs. These need-based grants are usually offered
to incoming freshmen and transfers. Students who receive College Grants
must maintain satisfactory academic progress and participate in at least one
college approved extracurricular activity. The College Grant program assists
students with financial need who also participate in the activities of the College
community.
Achievement Awards
Sophomore, junior and senior students who have demonstrated outstanding
academic and extracurricular achievements may apply for a $250 grant.

Financial Aid Programs
Loans Guaranteed Student Loan
This program enables students to borrow directly from a bank or other
participating lender. Currently, a dependent student may borrow up to 52,500
per grade level at an eight percent interest rate for new borrowers, if financial
need is indicated. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress for
subsequent loans. Repayment begins six months after the student leaves school
or changes status to under six credits. The exact amount of loan eligibility is
determined by this formula: educational costs minus financial aid, minus
expected family contribution. A qualifying factor is full or part time status.
Loan checks may only be accepted if their term dates are concurrent with the
present enrollment period. Applications and other information may be
obtained from the applicant's lender.
National Direct Student Loan
This program provides loans at the low interest rate of five percent to students
with financial need. Students must be enrolled at least half-time to receive this
aid. Federal regulations provide that a student may borrow up to S3, 000 tor
the first two undergraduate years with a S6,000 maximum if funds are
available. Repayment begins six months after graduation or withdrawal from
college. Deferments of repayments and cancellation provisions are available
for certain types of employment. Students are notified of the award of such
loans by a letter from the College.
Nursing Loans
Nursing students who demonstrate financial need may apply for low interest,
six percent Nursing Loans through the College's financial aid office. The
Nursing Loan is similar to the National Direct Student Loan in repayment and
deferments.
PLUS Loans
PLUS Loans provide additional funds to meet educational expenses. As with
Guaranteed Student Loans, monies are borrowed from a bank, savings and
loan association or credit union. The interest rate is currently twelve percent.
Borrowers are of three types:
Parents of dependent students — may borrow up to S3, 000 per grade level
for each full time undergraduate student. The aggregate total allowed is
S15,000.
Graduate students — may also borrow up to S3, 000 per grade level, with an
aggregate total of $15,000.
Independent undergraduate students — may borrow up to S2 500 per grade
level. However, the PLUS Loan, combined with the student's Guaranteed
Student Loan, cannot exceed $2,500 per grade level, with an aggregate total
of $12,500.
Repayment of PLUS Loans begins sixty (60) days after the loan proceeds are
disbursed. If the borrower is a full time student, the borrower may request to
defer payment of principal. Applications for PLUS Loans are obtained trom
the lender.

Policies
Withdrawals
Change of
Academic
Status
When a student withdraws from the College, he or she must file an official
notice of withdrawal with the Academic Dean. If such withdrawal reduces the
student's credits to zero (0), the percentage of the charges refunded is
determined by the date the Academic Dean receives official notice.
Tuition and Board refunds are granted as follows:
Time of Withdrawal Amount
First Week 100 percent
Second Week 75 percent
Third Week 50 percent
Fourth Week 25 percent
No refunds of charges are allowed after the fourth week.
Course fees are refundable only during the drop/add period (first week of
classes). No refunds are awarded on course fees after this period.
If the refund procedure results in a credit balance on a student's account and if
that student receives financial aid, the financial aid must be proportionately
reduced according to Title IV refund procedure stipulated by Federal
regulations, and restored to the appropriate financial aid funds. The
calculation for Title IV refund procedure is based upon the following formula:
Title IV Aid (less Work-Study) applicable amount refunded to
All aid for payment period refund Title IV funds
(less Work-Study)
There are no refunds to students who are dismissed from the College. There
are no refunds on any other fees, including advance registration deposits or
room deposits.
When a student withdraws from a residence hall or off-campus housing, he or
she must notify the Dean of Students in writing. Room charges are not
refundable. Room damage fees are refundable upon written request to the
Dean of Students.
If a student drops from full to part time status after the end of the refund
period (first four weeks of classes) no adjustments will be made to the tuition
charges originally assessed nor to financial aid.
However, if a student drops from full to part time during the refund period,
adjustments to tuition charges will be made as follows:
1 . The full time tuition charges originally assessed will be reduced according
to the official date on the drop/add slip from the Academic Dean's office,
and by applying a percentage of adjustment based on the following chart:
First Week 100% refund of tuition
Second Week 75% refund of tuition
Third Week 50% refund of tuition
Fourth Week 25% refund of tuition
2. Part time tuition charges will then be computed by multiplying the actual
number of credits being taken after the drop, by the appropriate per credit
charge.

Balances
3. The part time charge (from step 2) will be added to the amount of tull time
tuition charge remaining on account after the adjustment is made to tull
time charges in step 1. The result will yield the adjusted tuition charge
assessed for the semester.
Example:
A full time business student is originally assessed S1850 tuition charge.
During the second week of classes (75% refund period) the student drops
from full time to 11 credits. Tuition charges are adjusted as follows:
$1850.00 Full time tuition charge
x .75 75% refund period
Amount of reduction of full time tuition charges
Original full time tuition charge
Amount of reduction
Amount of full time tuition charge remaining on account
(25%).
Per credit tuition rate for business courses
Number of credits after drop
Part time tuition charges
Part time tuition charge
Amount of full time tuition remaining on account
$1496.50 Adjusted tuition charge for semester
If a credit balance is generated to the student's account as a result of the above
adjustment, financial aid will be proportionately reduced based on Title IV
Refund Procedures and restored to the appropriate financial aid kinds.
Refunds of credit balances on student accounts caused by overpayment (either
from financial aid or personal transaction) will not be processed until after the
fourth full week of classes has been completed each semester.
Checks will be issued ten working days after the fourth week of classes.
Refund checks, therefore, will not be issued until the sixth week of classes.
The ten working days give the comptroller time to verity the amount of
refund, to check on any other charges, and to confer with the financial aid
director.
Student refund requests must be submitted by the student in writing, and must
be approved by the comptroller and the financial aid director. Refund
application forms are available in the comptroller's office.
Students are advised to begin the academic year with sufficient tunds to pay
for books and living expenses until refund checks are issued.

Refunds of overpayments caused by Guaranteed Student Loans will not be
made until after the first week of classes. Refunds from Guaranteed Student
Loans will then be processed, after receipt of written request, within ten
working days from the date the loan check is submitted to the comptroller, or
the written request is received from the student, whichever is more recent.
Students may request that their refunds be credited to their account for the
following semester.
When a student drops a course or withdraws from Weekend College or
Summer School, official notice must be filed with the continuing education
office. The percentage of refund is as follows:
100 percent prior to the first class hour.
50 percent prior to the second class.
No refund after the second class.
All refund percentages are computed from charges to the student, not from the
amount paid.
Course fees are refundable only during the drop/add period (first week of
classes). There are no refunds to students dismissed from the College. Advance
registration deposits and any other fees are not refundable.
If the refund procedure results in a credit balance on a student's account and
that student receives financial aid, the financial aid must be adjusted
proportionately according to Title IV refund procedure. The financial aid
director can provide clarification of this procedure.

Careers and
Placement
College Misericordia students take their education seriously, but they <ilso
recognize that academics are only one part of the college experience. Most ol
the College's students are involved in extracurricular activities, some offered
by the College and others organized by the students themselves.
Students participate in making the decisions which affect their governance by
means of an active student government association which is the liaison
between students and the faculty and administration. More than twenty
student clubs on campus provide experiences in a wide variety of student
interests, including art, behavioral sciences, biology, chorus, orchestra,
history, drama, music, nursing, education, and others. The Newspaper, a
student news publication, involves many writers, editors and photographers.
Students and faculty annually publish a literary and art magazine, Instress,
and the College yearbook.
Cultural events, including concerts, film series, plays and lectures add to the
non-academic side of students' education.
Intercollegiate sports at the College include women's basketball, softball, field
hockey, volleyball and cross-country. Men compete at the intercollegiate level
in basketball, baseball and cross-country.
Members of the student body, faculty and administration enjoy a very active
intramural athletic program which includes co-ed flag football, soccer,
basketball, volleyball and softball, men's and women's tennis and men's and
women's basketball. There is also a men's club football team that plays similar
clubs from other colleges in the area.
College Misericordia is a Catholic college and, as such, offers students many
different ways to express religious faith and values. Students of all
denominations find the Campus Ministry program a focus for religious, social
and community service activities.
In keeping with the College's Mercy tradition of justice and compassion,
Campus Ministry sponsors programs which not only serve others but serve
students as well, by giving them opportunities to form and test their own sets
of values.
The College offers a comprehensive careers and placement service for enrolled
students as well as alumni.
For some students, career choices are easy; tor others such a decision may
seem to be unreachable. The careers and placement office can assist students
through individual counseling and testing, and workshops on communication
skills, personal growth, and decision making.
As students approach graduation, the careers and placement office provides
guidance in resume writing, scheduling job interviews, or in applying to
graduate school.

Commuter

Counseling
Library
Residence Halls
All of the College's services and extracurricular programs are available to com-
muting students, many of whom are just as active on campus as the residents.
The Commuter Council, a student-organized association, is attentive to the
needs and concerns of non-resident students. The Council addresses both the
academic and social aspects of college life for commuters.
Very few students go through their college years without needing advice at one
time or another. The College's counseling office responds to diverse student
needs, from academic problems to personal crises.
In addition to individual counseling, the office provides psychological
assessment, research, evaluation and referral services. The counseling office
sponsors workshops on leadership training and other personal and social
development skills throughout the year.
The Francesca McLaughlin Library is located on the second floor of the
Administration Building. Named after Sister M. Francesca McLaughlin, RSM,
a librarian at the College for more than twenty-five years, the facility
encompasses 15,000 square feet and houses stacks for 90,000 volumes.
The library's bright and congenial atmosphere is enhanced by art works,
plants, modern furnishings and displays of photographs of the College and its
history.
The library provides materials and services which support the educational
objectives of the College. Students have access to an excellent collection of
volumes, periodicals, microfiche, and reference materials, including a special
collection of nursing publications.
During freshman orientation students learn how to make the best use of the
library. This training is ongoing through a library skills program presented at
special learning stations. Individual instruction is always available from the
reference librarian and other staff members.when needed.
Interlibrary loan agreements enable students and faculty to take advantage of
regional library holdings of many thousands of volumes.
During the academic year, the library is open 82 hours per week. Professional
librarians are on hand to provide assistance at all times Monday through
Friday.
The College operates six resident facilities: McHale, Alumnae, McAuley, and
Walsh Halls, Carlow House and Mercy House. All rooms are designed for
double occupancy.
The environment in the residence halls is one is living and learning. A vital
part of the students' total educational experience are the relationships that
grow from living and sharing with others in the dorms. Residents participate in
making decisions affecting resident life. The residence hall program strives to
create an intellectual and friendly atmosphere conducive to academic
achievement and personal responsibility.
The residence halls are secure, attractively furnished, and conveniently located
on campus. Each building houses study lounges, laundry rooms and
recreational areas.

Student Health
Service
The College's health service personnel encourage wellness among all members
of the Misericordia community. School programs and individual counseling
stress preventive medicine, sound nutritional habits and
Registered nurses staff the infirmary in cooperation with the school physician.
Most health problems are taken care of on campus, but when the need arises,
students are driven to doctor's offices or hospitals in the area.
A complete physical examination is a requirement for admission to the College.
A comprehensive health insurance plan is available to all full time students.
The health service frequently sponsors such programs as blood drives, slimnas-
tics, CPR, first aid training and other educational workshops.
